ABOUT ME

As a life time student of English literature, Photography for me is an artistic form of creative expression. It is poetry in living images, scripted through emotions, feelings, and thoughts of my surroundings. There is nothing more beautiful then nature photography and preserving memories of where I have been and the paths I have traveled. I have studied photography for several years and it has become a creative and artistic outlet for me. It is a true art form and can be used in many different formats. It illuminates life and communicates across all languages, cultures, and reveals the spectrum of our emotions. It helps us to express the visual beauty of our surroundings and share the events of our lives and preserves our history. Every picture has a story to tell, a poem to express, and a place to discover.

Children's Express Theatre

The Children’s Express Theatre of St. Augustine is a new performing arts group that meets weekly during the school year. A Reader’s Theatre has something for all children, regardless of their reading level. Children read stories that have been scripted like a play, and they act out the story together. They are encouraged to use vocal, facial, and physical expression to engage with the script and their character. As children continue their repeated readings of the script, they are improving their reading skills and comprehension. They also will have the opportunity to practice speaking skills, such as pronunciation, expression, and varied volume. Our focus is to get every child involved and learning!

The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos

The Photographer's Eye continues to speak to photographers everywhere. Reaching 100,000 copies in print in the US alone, and 300,000+ worldwide, it shows how anyone can develop the ability to see and shoot great digital photographs. The book explores all the traditional approaches to composition and design, but crucially, it also addresses the new digital technique of shooting in the knowledge that a picture will later be edited, manipulated, or montaged to result in a final image that may be very different from the one seen in the viewfinder.

Understanding Close-Up Photography: Creative Close Encounters with Or Without a Macro Lens

In his sixth book, renowned photographer, popular instructor, and best-selling author Bryan Peterson challenges and inspires us to see close-up photography in new ways when we view it through his eyes. You’ve seen the dewdrops, but what about dewdrops on a bird’s wing or raindrops on a car windshield? You’ve seen the bumblebees on vibrant flowers, but what about the fluid edge of just one petal or the colorful rusting metal at industrial sites? Even when Peterson does capture the more traditional subjects, it's done in untraditional ways–and often with minimal specialized equipment! Most important, he moves beyond the commonplace to inspire new ways of getting close, using your lenses, and discovering unconventional subjects.
